respiratory tract irritation.
Skin Contact: Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause slight skin irritation.
Eye Contact: Contact with eyes can cause slight irritation.
Ingestion: May cause gastrointestinal irritation in the form of nausea and vomiting.

Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with water for 10 - 15 minutes. Hold eyelids apart and
roll eyes up and down to assure complete washing. Seek medical attention.
Skin: Remove contaminated clothing and equipment. Thoroughly flush the affected
area with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if irritation
persists.
Inhalation: Immediately move the patient to fresh air and call a physician. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If not breathing, begin artificial respiration.
Ingestion: Call a physician. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person. Induce vomiting only at the instruction of a doctor or nurse.

Flash Point: No data available Auto Ignition: No data available

Explosive Limits; UEL/LEL: In sufficient concentrations, dusts can form potentially
explosive mixtures in air.
Extinguishing Agents: Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or foam
extinguishing agents.
Fire & Explosion Hazards: As in any fire, prevent human exposure to fire, smoke,
fumes or products of combustion. Firefighters should wear recommended exposure
control equipment including a self-contained breathing apparatus. Avoid generating
dusts. Cool containers with water that are exposed to flames. Bond and ground
equipment when transferring material to prevent static build up.
Hazardous Combustion Products: Thermal decomposition produces oxides of
carbon and sulfur.
